Roku 3 has no digital out

Nice streaming player with a pretty good interface. It only has HDMI output which means I can't route surround through my HTR. I don't use the receiver's HDMI switching capability. Am I correct that my only option is HDMI out from the Roku and HDMI in and out of the receiver?

I had an issue with the Roku 3 too. I do not have an HTR, but using Pio sound bar. My TV is monitor only, no tuner, no audio. The sound bar has 1 optical which I use for the DVR/tuner connection, and 1 set of RCA inputs. I bought one of those little boxes that strip the audio out of HDMI and then pass it via RCA. Don't know if something like that would work for you or not. The audio deimbedder I bought is the Kanex Pro. There are other make/models out there that are more sophisticated than the Kanex, but it does what I need it to. The Kanex Pro claims to support 3-d sound and has an optical out connector too.

  That looks like it will do the trick. Thank you.

    It's what these boards are supposed to be about, right? Sharing information ... and the occasional rant.
